So...basically, as an exersize in pageview, what they did was break down the trailer shot by shot and tell you what was in each shot.

WHAT THEY DID NOT DO was something new and interesting and, I dunno, tell us why each shot may be important, or what it indicates about the plot, or even, god forbid, why it's a cool shot. (There are some wonderfully cool shots in the trailer.)

They've made the S on his chest a Kryptonian symbol.Phone booth quick-change. RIP :(His disguise is glasses and a hair parting.Bumbling Clark.Superman battling low level robbers.His parents were random chance. If he landed anywhere else and raised wrong the Earth could be screwed.

Young Clark is frightened by something, which the voiceover indicates is "how big the world is." Hiding in a closet seems like a solid idea.

I'm going to go with a no for that one. Given what his mother's telling him and how he's reacting I'm betting it's just an issue with controlling his powers, aka he's seeing and hearing a lot more than he can control or deal with and it's freaking him out pretty badly. He's not scared, he's simply overloading a bit.

Teufelaffe:Decillion: His parents were random chance. If he landed anywhere else and raised wrong the Earth could be screwed.

That would make for some interesting "what if" comic scenarios. What if he'd been found by "tanning mom"?

Considering where he gets his powers from, he'd be supercharged all...the...time. Of course, he'd also be lazy and superficial, so it's unlikely he'd help anyone...probably end up on the weight lifting circuit.

As much as I look forward to this flick, I hate things like this.

And not only that, but the "writers" are farking morons. Some of the limited "what is going on in this scene" speculation is totally wrong if you did something like, actually watched the trailer. Young clark hiding with his hands over his ears for instance was clearly because of his super hearing. He can hear way too much from all over the world and it is confusing and frightening. Hence Ma Kent telling him to focus on the sound of her voice.

The movie looks pretty good. At least looks like it's trying something different which is cool.

However the logo looks so beyond retarded. Honestly, how did they not laugh the designer out of the meeting when that was revealed? I hate to be one of "those" guys, but that logo alone is something I'm not sure I'll be able to get past. They changed one of the most iconic symbols of all time. And not for the better like Batman. It looks like Shrek now. Moronic.

Jesus...what's up with people on the Internet and the awful combination of not catching subtlety and having knee-jerk reactions? And mind you, not because of you. I just saw an io9 article whining about it.

The point of the scene is that Clark is faced with the notion of using his powers for good vs losing his life as he knows it. Pa Kent can't force him to make a decision but he can guide Clark so he can choose what he wants.

Yeeeeep.

Well, that was more about him landing in the hands of Mark Millar, thus screwing comic book readers.

I'm sorry...did you just insult one of my favorite minis...on the INTERNET!

I MUST DEFEND IT UNTO MY DYING BREATH!

Or just let you have your opinion, brain-deadeningly wrong though it may be.

Why don't you just put him in a bottle?

That was the best part, imho.

There was also Justice League: The Nail, where the Justice League has no Superman, Jimmy Olsen gets Kryptonian powers and becomes evil, finally meeting a Clark who instead landed in the field of an Amish family. He then realizes his destiny and becomes Superman.

Sorry for the spoilers; it was contrived but entertaining, nowhere near as awesome as Red Son.

If people can be judged by what they like, Millar fans shouldn't be a big threat. They would just posture all violently, then leave abruptly in the middle of it, wandering around aimlessly. I'm more afraid of Liefeld fans, who got lots of guns, possibly in pouches. And are quite unbalanced.

I always wondered if that drawing was accidental mucked up. If you positions the shoulders above the pecs it looks like a typical rendition.

But he didn't. And that's what we got. Any other artist would have said, ya know what? This isn't right, lemme start over. With Liefeld, it's almost as if he said, "This looks weird...oh, well, good enough." Of course, part of the blame lies with the editors who didn't tell him that it looks like ass covered ass in an ass jar.

/don't like Liefeld//DO like Deadpool///little yellow boxes, for you and me!
